4/16 WOD

Bench Press
8-8-8-8-8
135-145f-135-135f-135f (7 reps)
Not really feeling strong today, and 8 reps is a lot! My last set at 135 was better than my second to last set, I think having my hands spread a little further apart helped.

Followed by 3 Rounds for Reps
1 Min Max Ring Push Ups
1 Min Rest
1 Min Max Ring Rows
1 Min Rest
127 reps. Can't recall the splits, but my second ring push up set was better than my first, all sets exceeded 20 except last push ups and last rows, which were 19 each. Link to this morning's whiteboard (WFS): [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/93561498@N00/7083968921/sizes/l/in/photostream/[/url]

My pecs and triceps are officially fried now.

Also can't post without mentioning the warmup of trying to circle the pull up aparatus without dropping off the bar. Had to drop twice, but once was more because of hand pain on the cold bar than grip failure. Getting around the horizontal supports and moving up to higher bar was a little bit of a challenge.

4-16-12

Run 400 M
5 rounds of the couplet:
10 reps 95# shoulder press
10 reps air squat (16" target)
run 400 M

15:21

I visted the Brand X site to get some scaling ideas. They recommend NOT doing HSPU with pads or plates which I usually do. It made sense. Doing a 2" deep HSUP does not develop full range of movement, etc... thus the press. I am also trying to approximate the time prescription for the WOD's closer to intended. If it takes one of the top performers 5 - 8 minutes and it takes me 30, I am missing the intended stumulus of the WOD. Just my 2 cents.

4/17 WOD

3 Rounds for Time of:
30 Box Jumps (24#/20#)
60 Double Unders
90 Sit Ups

20:14. Thought this would take longer, but competition box jumps not required, which speeded things up a lot. Took a while to get double unders dialed in. Sit ups were just slow, did them in sets of 10 and 20. Props to Bill for disregarding his initial desire to quit before last set of sit ups and instead tough them out.

Abmat sit-ups X 20
